A Photo a Week: Death By Chocolate

“What you see before you, my friend, is the result of a lifetime of chocolate.”
~Katharine Hepburn

I suppose that there are some people who are indifferent to chocolate and maybe even a few who absolutely abhor it, but I’m certainly not one of them. Most of my chosen desserts just happen to contain that delicious substance.

Even a scoop of ice cream is for me best when it’s double chocolate, and to add to the delight, why not sprinkle on a few M&M’s?

My ‘Death By Chocolate’ pie is legendary, and on many an occasion, has been requested to grace my sister’s Sunday lunch table.

This very large chocolate cake was to say “Thank you” to the wonderful staff of Mom’s care home, just over a year ago. The other residents enjoyed sharing it in Mom’s memory.

One of my most popular posts on my old blog, was a recipe for this ‘Decadent Chocolate Cheesecake’ which I made for Easter. Those cute chocolate bunnies and eggs made it extra delicious.

Well…DEvastating photographic chocks…I just have to have some, right now. Oh, it takes at least an hour to fix something…wait a minute, maby there is an ice cream chocolate cake in the fridge…Sorry I just have to go digging it out…

I don’t know whether it’s a good idea for you to make the chocolate pie if you’re trying to “go slow on chocolate.” 🙂 I did have the recipe on my old South Africa blog, but that site was taken down a couple of years ago. I just found this recipe on another site http://www.food.com/recipe/romany-chocolate-cream-pie-332237 (Romany Creams are South African chocolate cream sandwich biscuits containing coconut. Maybe you have an Australian equivalent.

Oh my word! I’m feeling virtuous now that I only had apple pie and icecream -vanilla 🙂 – for afters today. One of my 5 a day, you know 🙂 Happy indulgent weekend, Ad! You need the calories with all that work going on at yours.
